Chen Shizi woke up in the morning and asked Aunt Luo if she could contact Wang Liwu for a video call. The nightmare still made her so nervous that she couldn't sleep for half the night.

Aunt Luo called Wang Liwu's assistant, and the assistant said it would be in the evening because he had something else to do.

Chen Shizi's face fell, and before she could say a few words, the video was about to end. Wang Liwu himself suddenly appeared in the video.

Sitting in a wheelchair, his face looked very cold.

Through the camera, he looked at Chen Shizi calmly and said, "Why are you video chatting with me? What did you do again?"

Hoarseness.

"Xiao Wu, you caught a cold again?" Chen Shizi looked nervous.

"Yeah." Wang Liwu had no expression on his face and asked again, "What's the matter?"

"No, I missed you." Chen Shizi smiled and whispered, "Hey, when will you be back? Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

The person on the screen stared intently, observing deeply.

"Or I don't want the specialty anymore." Chen Shizi frowned, her face wrinkled like a bitter gourd. "It's almost July, it must be fun outside. Xiao Wu, how long are you going to stay in the United States?"

“Is the work difficult?”

"Didn't Lin Yuan follow you?"

She kept asking questions. Wang Liwu frowned and lowered his eyes. "Wait two more days."

"I've had something delivered to my house. You can kill time. Pick me up at the airport the day after tomorrow."

"Really?! The day after tomorrow? You're not lying to me?" Chen Shizi's eyes lit up.

"Ah."

"Little..." Before he could finish his words, the person on the other end said "Shut up!" and the video was cut off.

Aunt Luo saw Chen Shizi's stunned expression and smiled, "Ms. Chen, I don't like to be disturbed when I'm busy, so just stay at home for two days. I've asked someone to send clothes and shoes over, so you can take your time to choose and ask the designer to make them for you."

With an "Oh", Chen Shizi turned around and went upstairs.

The dazed look carried a hint of imperceptible loss.

Back in the room, she threw all the clothes in Wang Liwu's cloakroom onto the bed, shuffled them, and then reclassified them one by one, into shirts, suits, short-sleeved shirts, and vests. After sorting, she hung them on hangers according to black, white, and gray, and then arranged them according to the material of the clothes, and moved them back into the cloakroom one by one.

She was still killing time upstairs by putting out clothes, and there seemed to be a quarrel downstairs.

Chen Shizi listened carefully and heard an old and muddy voice, tired but stubborn: "Where's Xiao Wu? Don't tell me she's on a business trip. I won't leave if she doesn't see me today!"

From the old man's voice, Chen Shizi could even feel that the man was about to lie under the wheel of a car and extort money.

Aunt Luo replied politely, "Director Li, the young lady is really not here. She is on a business trip and will not be back for a few days."

"Don't scare me. I saw a figure moving by her window, and you told me she's not there?! Cough cough cough..."

The coughing sound seemed to cough out the lungs.

"That is..." Aunt Luo hesitated, "That is not the young lady. Director Li, you are old and in poor health. Don't get angry about this. I will tell the young lady when she comes back in two days."

……

The noise below lasted for nearly 20 minutes. It was obvious that the old man was mad about something and looked like he was ready to fight to the death. However, no matter how much he threw a tantrum, Aunt Luo could not turn him into a Wang Liwu, so he returned empty-handed.

Chen Shizi looked out solemnly from the balcony. The old man was wearing a dark grey short-sleeved shirt and suit trousers of the same colour. He was skinny and had a severe hunchback. He looked like a dead tree that was about to die. He kept patting his chest and coughing, and his condition showed that he was about to die.

Apparently he had been having too much fun just now, and Aunt Luo, who is so good-tempered, didn't even come out to see him off.

Through the open window and the row of green plants in the villa, Chen Shizi looked deeply at the old man. Li Zheng looked at him immediately.

The two pairs of eyes stared at each other for a long time. Li Zheng's eyes became colder and colder as he looked at her. Chen Shizi suddenly felt strange in her heart and narrowed her eyes cautiously.

This might be her kind.

She looked at the open window meaningfully.

***

Late at night, as expected, someone came.

Li Zheng is 78 years old. He secretly climbed into his granddaughter's room with a ladder in the middle of the night. He had a syringe in his pocket and looked ferocious.

The bedroom window was not closed.

His legs and feet were not flexible, so it was inevitable that he made some noises when climbing up the ladder, but the person sleeping on the bed did not make any sound. Li Zheng was so angry that he held back his anger. With the help of the moonlight, he mustered up his courage, held the syringe high, and approached, ready to stab the person in the neck.

Chen Shizi opened his eyes suddenly in the darkness.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?"

Li Zheng was startled and the syringe suddenly slipped out of his hand and fell to the floor with a plop. The sound of the needle tilting could be heard.

Having been a coward all his life, this was the first time he mustered up the courage to kill someone. When he was caught, Li Zheng panicked and tried his best to calm down his viciousness. "Who is your grandpa! Get out of Xiao Wu's house right now! You are a scoundrel. It's not enough to kill my granddaughter once, are you going to kill her a second time?"

Chen Shizi felt a sharp pain in his heart and his eyes were stinging.

"I'm warning you. If you don't leave today, don't think I can't kill you just because I'm old..."

Chen Shizi lay peacefully on the bed. In the darkness, she saw Li Zheng, who had a ferocious face, covered in pure and holy moonlight.

I thought: If you can solve the problem by killing me, I will just lie still and wait for you to chop me up. But if you scratch me ten thousand times and Xiao Wu wants to fall on my head, won't I be more anxious than you?

The entire dark bedroom was filled with moonlight, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn. Li was wondering whether he should strangle the person to death.

"What do you want from Xiao Wu?" Chen Shizi asked naturally and calmly, not caring about the tense atmosphere.

"What's it got to do with you? ! Get out of here!" Li Zheng's old voice suddenly became fierce and brutal.

"Why are you leaving..." Chen Shizi opened his lips with a veil of temptation in his eyes, "Grandpa, I can help you. You and I are on the same team."

Li Zheng's hunched body froze.

……

In the middle of the night, Chen Shizi and Li Zheng climbed down the window, each of them crawled into a trash can, and were pulled out by a sturdy uncle who was collecting trash at the villa. No one noticed.

After crawling out from a few streets away, Chen Shizi saw Li Zheng bargaining with the uncle, arguing over whether to transfer 10,000 or 20,000.

Seeing that uncle, Chen Shizi's pupils shrank dangerously, and he walked slowly towards Li Zheng, "How about fifteen thousand, grandpa, I owe you five thousand."

"Go away, you unlucky star, you only know how to spend money!" Li Zheng cursed angrily and had a long argument with the middle-aged burly man who collected garbage. Finally, he decided to buy the two of them to escape.

On the way, Li Zheng cursed Chen Shizi viciously. He was simply angry that his granddaughter jumped off the building and broke her leg because of love, and almost lost her life. Today, when he saw Chen Shizi on the balcony, he knew it was the real culprit at a glance.

"You evil bastard, don't think I don't know that you were waiting for me on purpose. What on earth are you thinking of by running to Xiao Wu? Tell me the truth!"

"Grandpa, what kind of feelings can I have? I just feel guilty and want to apologize to Xiao Wu."

Li Zheng snorted and said nothing. There was still anger on his old face, and his expression was strange. "You said you can help me. What can you help me with?"

Chen Shizi tilted his head in thought, then nodded suddenly, "That depends on what you want me to help you with, Grandpa?"

"I want you to help me kill a few people, do you dare?"

"Killing people? More?" Chen Shizi was walking on the empty street with Li Zheng, who was limping. The figures were dim and sparse under the solar street lights. Chen Shizi was surprised for a moment, then smiled and asked casually as they walked: "Who did you kill?"

"The one who killed Misty. Do you dare?"

Wearing a pure white short-sleeved shirt, Chen Shizi raised the corners of his mouth mysteriously and looked playful.
